means that by midsummer the town of
North st. Paul will have population, in
Guiding these hands and their families, the
trades people, mechanics and laborerS. of
not less than 5000 souls. And this does
not include the employees of establishments
yet to be secured, and negotiations are pend
ing with many, and the hundreds of st. Paul
workers. clerks, mechanics and laborers who
will hasten to avail themselves of the ad-
| vantages afforded by residence in North

pany has been organized called the North
st. Paul Cottage company, with capital
stock of $3.50, 900. whose business will be to
build houses, costing from $500 to SO, 600
each. and to sell the same upon monthly
payments. The first batch of 100 houses
is already under contract. and more will be
built as required In addition to this the
land company will make special concessions
20 those buying lots for building purposes.
Already private parties have arranged to
build large number of houses and several
stores. A fine bed of brick clay exists on
the property, which will be extensively
utilized at once and add greatly 10 the
manufacturing interests.
Some delay. owing to bad weather, has
been experienced i'll getting in side tracks,
! but during the past week 1900 feet of
track was built, and as much more will go
in this week. Two hundred car loads of
building material have been purchased,
some of which is already upon the ground.
Work has been commenced upon five miles
of sidewalks. the lumber for which. is
already distributed along a portion of the
Streets and large number of street lamps
have been ordered. A contract has been
let for the grading of ten miles of street,

at work. A handsome steam launch has
been ordered, which will render that por-
ton OF the companys land lying north OF

management shown in everything else, it is
not surprising to know that ample facilities

This seems to add the finishing touch to
one OF the most successful enterprises ever
undertaken in st. Paul. Everything has
